2nd Annual Celebrate Children at the Algonquin Club in Boston, November 10, 2007

The stars came out this night to honor Howard J. Weinstein, Chief, Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, Massachusetts General Hospital for Children. The event, which was co-chaired by Tanya Broadbent and Jamie Dorsey, both of Sudbury, MA, featured a moving video that featured Dr. Weinstein as he worked with pediatric cancer patients, many of whom have stayed at Christopher's Haven. In the gracious Back Bay Club, a silent auction offered many restaurant, vacation, and luxury items, while a live auction saw highly competitive bidding for Red Sox and Patriots sports items. Walk on roles for an upcoming movie to be shot in Boston brought two winning bids of $15,000 each. The auction was chaired by Kathryn Brackett and the tribute book was chaired by Jayne Lampert, also of Sudbury. The evening raised more that $150,000 for Christopher's Haven. Many thanks to the hard working committee members, intrepid bidders, auction item donors and all who made this such a successful evening. Special thanks to April Montgomery (CT) and her daughter Claire and to Jennie and Ben Walters (IN) and Noah and Adam for joining us for this special evening. Both families stayed at Christopher's Haven in 2007 while Claire and Noah received proton treatment at MGH.

Additional thanks to the MGH proton staff who joined us for this remarkable evening. Salute!
